No. 1 Jannik Sinner Defeats No. 10 Ben Shelton Reaches Wimbledon Semifinals

Jannik Sinner advanced to the Wimbledon semifinals after defeating American Ben Shelton in straight sets despite battling an elbow injury sustained in his previous match against Grigor Dimitrov. Sinner's victory, with a score of 7-6(2), 6-4, 6-4, marked his fourth consecutive Grand Slam semifinal appearance and second Wimbledon semifinal in three years. Throughout the match, Sinner displayed resilience and skill, hitting 33 winners and committing only 17 unforced errors compared to Shelton's 38, while serving with a protective sleeve on his injured right arm. Shelton showed moments of strong play, saving two match points in the third set, but ultimately could not overcome Sinner's experience and power. Sinner is set to face Novak Djokovic, who advanced to his 14th Wimbledon semifinal, continuing their competitive rivalry with Sinner holding a narrow 5-4 lead in their head-to-head record. His achievement also places him among the youngest players to reach three consecutive Grand Slam semifinals, joining elite company like Nadal, Federer, and Djokovic.
